Have you ever been to Times Square?

Have you ever been to Connecticut?


Collaborate with your partner.

Use these pictures (or others) to create two slide shows - about Times Square and about Connecticut. Add text slides. Be sure to pick music and a theme that shows how it feels to be there.
Use Animoto to create the slide shows:

Once you are finished a slide show, embed it on your team page. Then describe Times Square and Connecticut in your own words.
